London, Sept. 5.
Field-Marshal Viscount Montgomery disclosed yesterday. that the Allies, fighting "exactly” according to plan, achieved greater success than expected in the Normandy invasion be- cause of "faulty strategy of the enemy." In a dispatch published last night in the London Gazette, the British military leader said that the whole campaign was fought "exactly as planned before the invasion." Various phases of the operation dovetailed with almost un- canny accuracy, he declared. "Events have amply shown} that a splendid spirit of co-

Tommies Accused By Jews
Jerusalem, Sept. 5.
A charge that British troops were "wilfully destructive" in their search of the villages of Dorot and Ruhama was made today by a Jewish Agency spokesman.
The spokesman quoted a re- port by isaac Ben-Avi, pre- sident of the National Council of Palestine Jews, saying that at Ruhama, the water pumping installation had been "effective ly ruined," that the communal bakery and kitchen were blocked "p with earth, and that trees were falled and planted crops uprouted and that enttle were let out.
At Dorot, the report said, machinery was smashed and "a arumber of tools disappeared, tractors damaged, and watches, cloth and pens disappeared".
The destruction is explainable pro- only by the "systematic paganda"

It's true that good players hate to "hang" at a contract of two no-trump on the theory that a hand which will produce eight tricks at no-trump will usually provide some sort play for game. But it's equally true that good players don't on the same bid indefinitely values and good players don't ask their partners to "stretch" for game if there is any sim- to the pler

North would have bid two no-trump, and quite soundly, if ho had held only low cards in the red suits. Surely those two high cards in support of South's add!- two bids were enough tional strength to warrant a If Jump to three no-trump.
